    Pacquiao did not want to TKO Margarito.

    "My opponent looked bad," said Pacquiao, who earned $15 million plus pay-per-view profits that should take him well over $20 million. "I wanted the referee to stop it. In the 12th round I was just looking to get thru the fight. I eased up on him. I told the referee, 'Look at his eyes.' I didn't want to damage him permanently. That's not what boxing is about."
    Manny Pacquiao proved size doesn't matter by overcoming a 17-pound weight disadvantage to claim a title in his eighth weight class.


    You could tell when Pacquiao basically stopped and turned to the ref asking him to stop. Margarito took a beating that might make him to never step foot in the ring again.

      He did beat Margarito up too, bad, but he could've basically sent him to canvas if he wanted to.

        I think Marge got hit more solidly than Cotto. Cotto was backing up most of the time.

          It's good of Pacquiao to do that but it angers me when a fighter has to do what Pacquiao did as the rivalling corner or referee should stop the fight.

              I thought he very obviously laid off Margarito from the 11th round. It was the noble thing to do - the fight was won and Margarito looked like a mess. His corner should have done better.

                I think he had more respect for Margarito who actually hit him back unlike Cotto.

                  He could've done permanent damage. He broke the right orbital.

                    Lol Cotto landed on Pacquiao too. Maybe more than Margarito if i'm not mistaken.
